A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In the wake of an infection that has left Baton Rouge unsettled and roiling with the undead , three young friends Mazoch, Vermaelen and Rachel band together to search for Mazoch s missing father. Their mission is to visit all the places he once lingered: his favourite fast food restaurants, the movie theatre he frequented with his son and the city park. As hurricane season looms, uncertainty and suspicion of each other s motives threatens to pull the group apart, but still, the friends search continues. Over the course of a week, day after day, they haunt the places Mazoch s father once haunted, confronting the same persistent hope that faces all who grieve: that whomever, whatever they have lost, will return to them, in one shape or another. Turning typical zombie fare on its head, Bennett Sims delivers a wise and philosophical rumination on the nature of memory and loss in this remarkable debut novel.

Revue de presse :

Bennett Sims is a writer fearsomely equipped with an intellectual and linguistic range to rival a young Nabokov s, Nicholson Baker s gift for miniaturistic intaglio, and an arsenal of virtuosities entirely his own. A Questionable Shape announces a literary talent of genre-wrecking brilliance. --Wells Tower, author Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned

Playful, absorbing, bittersweet, and intelligent, and, like a bite, it gets under your skin. --Kevin Brockmeier, author of The Brief History of the Dead
